It stands for Applied Behavior Analysis!
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. ABA helps us understand how behavior works, how the environment can affect behavior and how learning takes place. ABA therapy focuses on applying the understanding of how behavior works to real-life situations. The goal of ABA is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning and independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often and how long are ABA Therapy sessions?
ABA Therapy duration is dependent on the hours approved hours after initial assessment is done by the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). It can be anywhere 15 to 30 hours per week on average. It should be noted that ABA Therapy approval solely depends on the child’s need and the severity of diagnosis. Once a final approval is determined, the schedule of ABA Therapy is arranged directly with the child’s primary caregiver, Behavior Specialists Case Manager and the RBT and BCBA
Where are ABA Therapy services provided?
Behavioral Health is able to deliver ABA Therapy in the child’s home, school, day care, community center, or PPEC. Furthermore, Behavioral Health has its very own treatment center located in Miami where parents are given the option to bring their child in for ABA therapy services.
Who is normally present in an ABA Therapy session?
The child works directly with the Registered Behavioral Therapist (RBT) in the presence of the child’s caregiver. A caregiver is defined as the child’s parent, legal guardian, teacher (in the school), nurse (in PPEC) or the clinical team if child is receiving services in our Treatment Center. The RBT provides individualized therapy as indicated in the treatment plan formulated by the BCBA. The RBT is also supervised directly by the BCBA on a weekly basis. In addition, provides parent training to make sure parents and caregivers receive routine education and follow-ups to make sure treatment plan remains consistent.
Can the RBT accompany my child to different places while providing ABA Therapy?
Yes, the goal of ABA Therapy is to establish patterns and correct maladaptive behaviors in the child’s environment.
Can you decribe the intake process from initial referral to first day of ABA Therapy services?
Intake process consists of collecting all the needed documentation from physicians, specialists, CDE testing, in some cases the IEP from the public school. The child also needs to be evaluated first by the BCBA, who will make the recommendation on how many hours per week the child should receive for ABA Therapy.
Who qualifies for ABA Therapy services?
There are over 25 Diagnoses that qualify for ABA, the most common are: Autism; Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); Oppositional Defiant Disorder; Maladaptive Aggression; and Lack of Expected Normal Physiological Development in Childhood.
